The Antiques and Crafts Fair at Praça (square) Benedito Calixto is São Paulo’s modest answer to Buenos Aires’ San Telmo’s fair. It runs every Saturday during most of the day.

The square is not large and can be visited in a morning, with more than enough time for a coffee, a beer or any other drink. All sorts of old (and odd) objects can be found along the way, providing endless amusement to the visitors.

In the middle of the square there is a food court where you can listen to the old guard playing samba.
